Area of a Triangle Formula

Area of a Triangle Formula We can find the area of the triangle in several ways. Area of the triangle is half the multiplication of base and height of the triangle. Area of the triangle can be found using the semi perimeter of triangle with three side values. Area of the triangle can be found using the angles of the triangle and two side values. The area of triangle formulas is, A=1/2(b*h) Here b is the base of a triangle. h is the height of a triangle. One another way to find the area is the Heron's formula. It gives the area in terms of the three sides of the triangle. It is given by the following formula: Area A = (s(s - a) (s - b) (s - c)) Know More About :- Mann Whitney Test

Here, s is the semi perimeter of the triangle and s = (a+b+c)2. The area of triangle when two sides and one angle are given is given by the following formula: Area A= (ab sin C)/2 The above formula says that area of a triangle is the half of the product of two side values and one angle. Finding the Area of a Triangle Below are some examples based on area of a triangle Example 1: Find the area of scalene triangle with a base of 15 cm and a height of 4 cm Area = 12 (b*h) Substitute the values of base and height. Then we get, Area = 12 (15*4) = 12 (60) = 30 cm2 Example 2: Find the area of a right triangle with a base of 6 meters and a height of 9 meters. Area = 12 (b * h) = 12 (6*9)

= 12 (54) = 27 meter2 Example 3: Find the area of a triangle with two sides 5cm, 8cm and the in between angle is 45 degree. Area = (ab sin C)/2 = (5*8 sin 45)/2 = (40 *0.85)/2 = (34)/2 = 17 cm2
